Custom built, user friendly and constructed with conversions at the core.
At Digital Funnel we offer a comprehensive and complete WordPress Web Design service. We know that a website is more than just a domain hosted on the internet, it represents your business and in this digital-first world, it’s often the first interaction a customer will have with your organisation. Nowadays it’s not enough to just build a pretty website, you need to build a site that works, a site that converts and a site that is simple to navigate and use.
It’s also imperative that when you feel the need, you can easily make necessary changes to your own site. WordPress is by far the most user-friendly platform, for both management and web browsers. Beginning life as a simple blogging tool, WordPress has grown in functionality and is now the world’s chosen website design platform.
In 2020 WordPress expanded its market share to nearly 64%, which means that over 63% of websites that make use of CMS utilise WordPress, this actually equates to 38.4% of all websites live on the internet today.
When you search WordPress on Google, you’re given 2.28million results. This only further highlights the firm grasp on the market WordPress has thanks to its SEO friendly nature.
Samsung, Playstation, Forbes even the New York Times use WordPress as a web platform. In fact, 14.7 percent of the top 100 websites in the world today are driven by WordPress.
The WordPress PlugIn directory is absolutely packed full of useful tools designed to improve the overall usability of your website and flesh it out even further. These 59,117 PlugIns are all free and the library is constantly expanding.
Matt Curtis, former head of the Google WebSpam team noted that “sites built with WordPress are capable of ranking higher in search results because the CMS takes care of 80-90% of Google’s crawling issues.” making it a far more SEO friendly platform than its competitors.
Is your website ranking for the important terms? Is your competition leaving you behind? Why are you not getting traffic?
Get a free health-check of your website and see your website through the eyes of the Google gods. We will then present you with a custom report and more importantly, a thorough plan of action.
No two websites are built the same. A local plumber is going to need a totally different feel, theme and features compared to a baker or even a restaurant. Our expert Word Press web developers and the overall malleability of WordPress allows us to comfortably change our processes to tailor to what your business needs. Before the process begins, we organise a meeting to determine what’s required, the ultimate goal of the website and to get an overall feel for the business.
During the entire process, our developers are available to answer any queries you may have. We regularly provide briefs for all of the work to be undertaken complete with time for feedback to be given, our reports are supplied regularly to keep you in the loop at every stage of the process.
This is effectively the first true design stage. At this point, we will start to have a clear picture of how the website will appear and the level of functionality it may have. An aesthetically pleasing website is worth very little to a business unless it is practical and easy to navigate, our teams know this and build every site with this in mind.
The build. The site now begins to take shape, as we receive the go-ahead from a client on the design brief for a page, we begin to build each individual section. Once pages are modelled and created, they are sent for approval.
Many businesses fall into the trap of thinking the project has been completed once the site has been built. The online world is constantly changing and websites need constant maintenance. From security patches to plug-in updates, SEO alterations and more. Digital Funnel can handle this process, leaving you to focus on the important, day to day elements of your business.
Post-build we continuously test the Websites vitals, like speed, to ensure everything is working to the optimum level. Earlier this year, Google rolled out the Core Web Vitals update which basically follows a specific set of factors that Google considers essential for a website’s overall user experience. We rigorously test and maintain your site to ensure it reaches all of these standards.
Yes, a huge number of professional developers use WordPress as their web development platform of choice. Considering WordPress has such a huge market share, the demand for developers with this specific skill set has consistently grown over the past decade or so. As mentioned above, WordPress is known for its simple but effective content management system, making it hugely popular. Clients wish to manage the content of their own site on a reputable platform, driving the demand for WordPress developers.
WordPress web design is one of those anomalies in the world. Easy to learn, difficult to master. With some basic search skills and a bit of graft, you can piece together your own WordPress site, you don’t even necessarily need coding or programming ability. However the end result will be somewhat lacking, although DIY website builds are an option, they can be hugely time-consuming and reap very little reward without the extensive knowledge required to fully optimise a site.
Prices fluctuate depending on what exactly is you desire, what level of developer you go with and what exactly you wish to get out of the process. You can expect to pay anywhere from €500, to €15,000.
Although WordPress is not built for eCommerce specifically, it can be used. The various plug-ins available on the platform can make your site eCommerce friendly, but it’s generally not advised.
